Shelleys Show And Tell

Joan Kent, PhD discusses cool stuff about food and sugar that you may not know. You know sugar is bad for you, but do you know how bad, and why? Even though sugar is known to be junk, not everyone understands how many ways it affects us. Dr. Kent has been focusing on health and mood issues caused by sugar ever since the low-fat craze when no one worried about sugar and ate lots of it! She earned a Circle of Scholars nomination for her pioneering research in how binge eating disorder is worsened by sugar. Joan and I will discuss several topics, including: •How sugar affects your brain and makes you eat more •The real reasons you crave sugary treats, and what you can do right now •How sugar caused the obesity epidemic – and why the sugar industry is to blame •How sugar can cause common metabolic conditions – including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, inflammation, and cancer •And much more!
